I know we're not there yet but I'm curious when you took your child to the movies for the first time (not counting newborns at mommy matinees!)

I don't know... My parents have offered to take DD (2.5) to the movies on several occasions, but I feel like she's still too young. I know my nephew went to the movies from a pretty early age, maybe even under 2? DD has never actually seen a full length film at this point (the biggest stretch for her to date has been about 25 minutes), so I'm not too confident she'd actually behave during 1-2 hour movie. I might let her go at around 4-5 years old, if she shows she can sit still long enough.

4-5?

My lo is 15 months and still wont sit through more than 2 minutes of tv. I know we have a very, very long time. I think it just depends on the kid though. I have a friend with a lo my daughters age who has already been because he has an older sister and he did fine.

I went to my first movie around age 5--a re-release of 101 Dalmatians!
I think it depends on the child and whether or not they can (or want to) sit through a movie. I wouldn't want to pay for movie tickets and then have them not really watch the movie/disturb other people.

I was 5 when I went to my first movie... will probably do the same with DS

DS was almost 2.5 when we saw Winnie the Pooh last year. It was only like 50 minutes long so he did fine (he was actually a little scared of the dark theater). He was quiet and paid attention! DH took him to Madagascar 3 a few weeks after DD was born so after he turned 3. It was a long movie and he was fine.
